A Brief history: Drip irrigation has its roots in agriculture, where in many parts of the world it was the only option available for harsh climates with limited water supplies. Its development depended on advancements in polyethylene tubing, and its growth was most rapid in arid and drought-plagued regions. Beginning in the late 1960's farmers discovered that by using drip irrigation they could increase yields while lowering water use. The 80's saw drip irrigation making the transition into commercial landscape with mixed success. In today's market, drip irrigation is well-trusted and used extensively in agriculture, and is actively utilize in commercial landscape and residential gardens sites, providing a possible solution to some of our water management problems.
Dripper Water FlowDrip Irrigation is the slow application of water directly to the plants root zone. Maintaining an optimum moisture level in the soil at all times results in less water lost to the sun and the wind. No water is wasted on non-growth areas, and the root zone is maintained at its ideal moisture level, combining the proper balance of water and air for a very efficient irrigation system. Unlike drippers, micro sprinklers throw the water over a wide area, and are designed to be used in areas where drippers are not practical, such as large areas of ground cover or flower beds. Like drippers, micro sprinklers have many of the same benefits . All of these factors will result in deeper roots and more abundant foliage. The DIG line of low volume irrigation products is the ideal solution for most commercial landscape and residential sites. Low volume irrigation offers some key advantages and benefits to both contractors and home owners.
Advantages and Benefits
- Water Efficiency: By applying water only where and when it is needed, with less runoff, less deep percolation, and less evaporation from leaves and soil, the uniform application of water from drip irrigation systems can achieve high water savings.
- Ease of Installation: The system can be installed without special tools or glue, and with limited knowledge, making the installation a very simple process. Comprised of various plastic co, DIG low volume irrigation systems install easily above or below the ground.
- Reduced Pest Problems and Weed Growth: Watering only the roots of your plants with drip irrigation cuts down on water-borne pests and fungal diseases that spread by water movement, as well as the germination of weeds in the area between your plants.
- Versatility: Low volume irrigation systems are designed for placement in both new and existing landscape areas, and are ideal for installation on difficult terrain such as on slopes, in oddly shaped areas, and on windy sites.
- Root Zone: One of the most important aspects of drip irrigation is the fact that in many instances, a totally new and more favorable root zone environment is created and a relatively constant soil moisture level is maintained. This fact has important implications because it bears upon questions of plant water requirements, tolerance and control of disease.
- Economy: Investing in a low volume irrigation system can save you money and significantly lower your water use.
- Long Life: All DIG products are designed to withstand the harshest conditions in both home and commercial installations. They are manufactured of high quality, highly durable plastics and contain added quantities of the compound Carbon Black, making them resistant to the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays.

Competitive Enterprise Institute | 1899 L ST NW Floor 12, Washington, DC 20036 | Phone: 202-331-1010 | Fax: 202-331-0640
In 1994, the nation sent a new breed of lawmakers to Washington, giving Republicans control of both Houses of Congress for the first time in decades. This new breed was determined to change the way lawmakers think and govern. At the end of this attempted "revolution," I took a job working for House member Sam Brownback (R-KS), who would shortly gain election to the Senate. On Capitol Hill I found a very different mood than the one that prevailed just months earlier.
Republicans took hard political hits on environmental issues. Having failed to capture the moral high ground and enact reform measures, they decided to retreat. Yet my new boss believed that his free-market philosophy could serve a pro-environmental agenda, a view that led him to push the House Budget Committee to adopt a series of environmental principles that the Competitive Enterprise Institute helped draft into the House Budget Resolution. Frustrated with his party's strategic failure on environmental issues, he hired me to help rethink his strategy and develop a stronger, principled, free-market environmental message. But Brownback was nearly alone in his resolve.
Early in the 105th Congress, it became clear that retreat led to enemy capture. The new majority was no longer interested in offering new ideas. They began to model their "new" initiatives after Clinton Administration initiatives. The result was a series of proposals that failed to address fundamental problems with current environmental laws; rather, they attempted to fix them with yet more government. The Republican Congress even funded the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at record levels.
The Senate Republicans began with Senator Bob Smith's (R-NH) bill to reform the nation's hazardous waste cleanup law. Superfund reform was placed on the Majority Leader's "Top 10" list of legislative priorities. Sen. Smith's "Superfund Acceleration Act of 1998 (S. 8) shares the fundamental goals of the [Clinton] Administration's reforms and builds upon those reforms," according to the committee report. The bill focused on using new big-government programs to address the law's current failings.
For example, Superfund's liability scheme basically holds anyone remotely related to a Superfund site potentially liable for millions of dollars in cleanup costs. Thousands of former industrial sites (commonly called brownfields) sit idle because of such potential liability. Making Superfund's liability scheme more just would eliminate the brownfield problem. Instead, the Smith bill expanded the Clinton Administration's brownfields program, which simply provides for additional federal funds to clean up a few select sites, while the vast majority continue to sit idle.
Then there was Senator Dirk Kempthorne's Endangered Species Act (ESA) "reform." As written, the ESA penalizes property owners by regulating their rights to use their own property when it contains actual or potential habitat for endangered species. As a result, landowners are encouraged to destroy species habitat.
But again, rather than fixing the law, the Senate bill adopted and expanded another Clinton Administration initiative – habitat conservation planning. In theory, a habitat conservation plan (HCP) is supposed to give property owners some rights to use their land, if they engage in activities to enhance species habitat. But most property owners simply don't have the land to spare or the money necessary to hire expensive environmental consultants and attorneys to develop plans. We end up with more intensive land use regulation and the same perverse incentives. It is no wonder that the Kempthorne bill was opposed by property rights groups, the American Farm Bureau, and many others. It won't work for landowners or species.
While Superfund and ESA "reform" represent the two most significant environmental bills of the Congress, many more followed the same faulty logic. The Tropical Forest Protection Act passed into law, creating a program to forgive debt in developing nations to divert some of the money to left-wing environmental groups overseas. There also were various government pork and parks bills that simply expand government control – and the mismanagement that goes with it – over our National Parks and Federal Lands.
Republicans also offered several bills banning trade in products produced from wildlife. The Bear Protection Act, for example, would ban trade in bear "viscera" because demand in China for their use in traditional Chinese medicine is supposedly going to make the bears extinct in the United States. In addition to the fact that the Fish and Wildlife Service testified that this proposal was unnecessary, the bill flies in the face of what we've found is the best way to protect species – using their market value to foster stewardship. We've learned that the African Elephant flourishes when local communities benefit from tourism and trophy hunting, and they suffer when bans increase prices for Ivory tusks, create black markets, and subsequent poaching. Bears are not likely to be any different.
But how do members capture the high moral ground on environmental issues? They need to start learning the true meaning of free-market environmentalism. That doesn't mean they must start hacking away at EPA's enforcement budget as they did in the 104th Congress. After all, we need to fix faulty laws rather than enforce them selectively or haphazardly.
Politicians may respond that it's easier said than done. But there are some principled opportunities where lawmakers could start. For example, my former boss Senator Brownback is preparing legislation to repeal the federal sugar program, which is damaging the Florida Everglades. Other opportunities include making minor changes to the Clean Water Act to make it easier for private parties to voluntarily clean up abandoned mine sites. And absent legitimate Superfund reform, which would turn most, if not all, cleanup responsibilities over to the states, members should consider a brownfields bill that simply provides liability relief to innocent parties that cleanup abandoned industrial sites.
In the end, free-market advocates can forget about getting full-fledged support from the League of Conservation Voters. Those groups rarely score Republican initiatives, even when Republicans offer big-government programs. Free-market lawmakers need to start making the right arguments, promoting the right ideas, and implementing them where possible – even if it's on a smaller-than-desired scale. Most of all, they need to recognize that there's nothing gained from becoming Clinton-Gore environmental clones.

Vampire Weekend hit the music scene with their self-titled debut in 2008, and was welcomed with immediate success, debuting on the Billboard 200 at #17.
Time, Rolling Stone, and Pitchfork all included it on their "Best Of" lists. With a sound that mixes punk, pop, and African music, the band charmed critics and audiences alike. Their sophomore album Contra, released in 2010, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, with hit singles, "Holiday," "Giving Up the Gun," and "Cousins." The band's much anticipated third album is set to be released May 2013.
Genre: Indie Rock / Indie Pop
Jack Milas and Oli Chang began making music together as High Highs in their native Sydney, Australia, while working at the same recording studio. Chang was in another band at the time, but found himself drawn to Milas' writing style. The pair plunged into a world of collaboration and invention. They discovered the basis of a band aesthetic by marrying Chang's passion for electronic indie with Jack's penchant for classic acoustic rock.
Widely tipped as "indie darlings" and a "band to watch" on the strength of an acclaimed EP, some high profile film and TV song placements, and a series of hypnotic live shows, High Highs have recently released their first album Open Season.

Washington, D.C. - Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after the Department of Health and Human Services announced that consumers saved $3.9 billion last year due to provisions in the Affordable Care Act:
"Today's announcement offers further evidence that the Affordable Care Act is meeting many of its goals: to strengthen the economic security of families and to save money for consumers.
"By committing more of Americans' premium dollars to patient care and quality improvement, we are ensuring that Americans are achieving major savings and getting better value in their health insurance. We are holding insurance companies accountable and putting money back in the pockets of the middle class.
"There's more good news to come. The Affordable Care Act is already offering essential protections to families, women, seniors, students, and children; as we fully implement the law, it will continue putting quality coverage in reach for the American people."

Hello Guys,
I have an SSH enabled ATV and i was trying to activate the usb port with this tutorial: http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/Take_2_Full_Update
Everything works, but USB not. I want to connect e.g. an USB Stick or external Harddrive with movies on it and i want to start them.
I patched the kernel file, copied all files in the right directory but when i connect an usb stick or external harddrive nothing happens.
There is no Volume under ATVFiles.
The mounted Volume should mounted under "Volume", is that right?
Really big thanks to all helpers and great Community here!

Proportional brake controller can be mounted within a 360-degree vertical range. Digital display indicates braking action of trailer. Fine-tune power adjustment has 5 levels so that you can set braking intensity to suit your towing needs.
With a proportional brake controller, you can get heavy-duty emergency braking, general braking or slow-to-an-idle braking for your trailer automatically. The intensity with which your trailer brakes are activated and the rate at which they are applied are dependent on the deceleration of your tow GMC Savana Van. This means that, unlike time-delay controllers - which send the same amount of preset power to your trailer brakes every time - proportional controllers are able to adapt to every braking situation differently. So, if you slam on the brakes in your truck, your trailer brakes will activate with that same extreme intensity. And if you merely slow down as you approach a red light, your trailer will gradually brake in the same manner.
As long as the Agility controller sits level on a horizontal plane and is pointed in the direction of travel, it will sense - via an internal inertia sensor - how your tow GMC Savana Van brakes. This inertia-based sensor responds to the deceleration of your tow GMC Savana Van as you brake by signaling the controller to send out enough power to your trailer brakes so that they are activated with an intensity that matches. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.
Getting the braking power you need for your application is simple with the Agility. First, set the overall power so that you can achieve maximum braking without locking up your trailer brakes.
Once you have the overall power set, you can fine-tune the power output by adjusting the sensitivity of the internal sensor. Use the adjustment buttons on the top of the controller to achieve your desired degree of intensity. There are 5 levels to choose from. The first level offers the least amount of sensitivity, making it ideal for lightweight setups. The heavier your load, the higher you will want to take the sensitivity. At level 5, the sensitivity of the internal sensor is as high as it can go. This level provides the most aggressive braking and is ideal for heavy loads.
Digital Display
On the front of the Agility there is a digital display that is designed to keep you aware of the braking action of your trailer. This screen shows your sensitivity level, overall power percentage and error codes for issues such as a short circuit.
The Hopkins Agility can be mounted anywhere within 360 degrees vertically, but it is recommended that it be mounted in your cab at an angle that is between -20 degrees and 70 degrees to make it easier to access.
Note: The Agility must be mounted on a level horizontal (side-to-side) plane and must be lined up with the direction of travel for the internal sensor to function properly.
This brake controller is designed to be hardwired into your GMC Savana Van.
Installation Accessories
See etrailer.com's exclusive 7- and 4-way brake-control installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately) if you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your GMC Savana Van.
Note: One of the following will be required to ensure proper installation:
20-Amp circuit breaker (9506P - sold separately) for 2- to 4-brake applications
30-Amp circuit breaker (38630 - sold separately) for 6- to 8-brake applications

I don't know what that means? Surely not tired tricks like posture, vocal (i.e. accent) control, skill with movement onstage ...?
As I've said before, I think she has a lot of talent but needs training! I also think she's going to win, which may do her no great favors in the future if she can't eradicate the bad habits she has and develop the discipline I think she needs.
As I've said before, I think she has a lot of talent but needs training! I also think she's going to win, which may do her no great favors in the future if she can't eradicate the bad habits she has and develop the discipline I think she needs.
I'm not the biggest fan of Jessie, but I do understand what is meant by 'tired tricks' that some training often tends to instil in people. And I speak as someone who has been trained. Some tricks include - ways of singing (bright, vibrato, with lots on an 'ee' sound) that is arguably a trick that tends to make everyone sound impressive but the same - sharp, clear acting movements that are sometimes more about style than truthfulness - certain hand gestures and movements - some kinds of phrasing / speak-singing etc
All of these are things that the best musical theatre performers grow out of, but you see them time and again among younger trained performers (or untrained performers who are trying to 'copy' people they have seen on stage) and I would agree to some extent with the argument (at least in theory) that you can discover a fresh talent and give them intensive one-to-one training to get them up to a high performance standard that still keeps their freshness. Ultimately, musical theatre courses have to fall back on these because they need to polish people for performance but don't have the time to go much further than that individually with their students, so I think you see the best musical performers once they have been out of drama school for a couple of years and have really learned how to perform.
You know, I think it's these tricks that have undermined Rachel and Sarah a bit - the panel loved them, but lots of the audience just seemed to find them a bit contrived or limited in their acting, and with pretty, controlled voices that again don't really grab you. I reckon they'll both be really good in another few years but they still have to learn how to balance the best things learnt from training with getting back to a truthfulness and engaging style of their own. For me, Sarah kept taking on notes to some extent and was one of my favourites, but still never quite rang true when performing -- yet.
The best MT performers (just in my opinion - so please don't jump to attack me for this!) are those who are experienced but still have a unique, natural, sometimes raw / vulnerable quality - like Ruthie Henshall / Maria Friedman / Anna Francolini / Scarlett Strallen / Lea Salonga
PS Am I the only to think that it's a bit silly talking about training vs not training when a lot of the 'untrained' girls have probably had singing lessons or been in a choir? It's perfectly possible to get just as much training not going to drama school by getting a good singer teacher and going to dance and drama classes!

House Committee Blocks Clean Water Protections (6/15/11)
Washington, DC – The House Appropriations Committee today blocked efforts to restore Clean Water Act protections for streams that supply drinking water to 117 million Americans and wetlands that provide flood protection and critical fish and wildlife habitat.
The committee's Republican majority rejected an amendment by Representative Jim Moran (D-VA) that would have allowed the Army Corps of Engineers to revise guidance to its staff on this issue. The bill the committee considered today, which would fund the Corps in fiscal year 2012, includes a provision (Section 109) barring the Corps from taking any steps next year or in future years to revise its Clean Water Act guidance or regulations. By voting against this amendment, the committee would maintain the status quo of wetlands loss, stream impairment, and regulatory confusion.
"The vote today represented a clear choice between restoring Clean Water Act protections to important streams and wetlands and postponing those protections indefinitely," said Scott Kovarovics, Conservation Programs Director for the Izaak Walton League of America. "Congressman Moran's amendment provided a balanced path forward for clean water. Unfortunately, opponents of the amendment chose not to take that path."
"Clean water should not be a partisan issue," said Steve Kline, Director of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership's Center for Agricultural and Private Lands. "Today's vote is truly dismaying in its short-sightedness and ensures that we will continue to lose wetlands at an alarming clip."
Section 109 of the bill would prevent the Corps of Engineers from finalizing administrative guidance that has been developed with an unprecedented level of public input. As written, the guidance increases clarity and efficiency for agencies, farmers, and businesses without expanding the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act. It is ironic that the provision also prohibits a formal rulemaking process. Stakeholders on all sides seem to agree on the need for a formal rulemaking as part of a long-term solution, yet the bill prohibits rulemaking not only in fiscal year 2012 but indefinitely.
"The Section 109 provision leaves us with an intolerable status quo that threatens wetlands and tributaries that provide clean water for iconic systems like the Chesapeake Bay and Great Lakes, recharge aquifers, help retain floodwaters, and provide important fish and wildlife habitat," said Jan Goldman-Carter, National Wildlife Federation Wetlands and Water Resources Counsel.
Loss of Clean Water Act protections for small streams and wetlands could affect more than our drinking water supplies and wildlife habitat – it could hurt the nation's economy. Hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation contribute billions to the economy, but these activities could be sharply curtailed by water pollution and loss of wetland habitat critical for ducks, trout, and other wildlife.
"American sportsmen greatly appreciate the efforts of Representatives Moran, Dicks, Visclosky, and others as they reminded the House Appropriations Committee what it seems to have forgotten: You can't have fishable and swimmable waters if substantial amounts of wetlands and headwater streams go unprotected by the Clean Water Act," said Steve Moyer, Vice President for Government Affairs for Trout Unlimited. "Sportsmen will not forget this vote, and will continue to do all in our power to defeat this and similar provisions that threaten clean water."

The Moran amendment struck a balance on the issues that have been raised to challenge the guidance. Some have expressed concern about public participation in the process while others contend that guidance would adversely affect farming, ranching, and other land uses. The amendment would authorize the Corps to move forward only after accepting public comment on the guidance. When the Corps and EPA proposed the guidance, they initiated a 60-day public comment period through July 1. In addition, the amendment allows the Corps to proceed only if the guidance does not limit exemptions already in the Clean Water Act for common farming, ranching, forestry, and other land use activities. As an administrative document, the guidance can not – and does not – limit provisions of the Clean Water Act that specifically exempt these activities from the law's wetland and pollution discharge permit requirements.
For more information about the proposed guidance, read "The Clean Water Act Guidance: What It Does and Does Not Do" (PDF link).


text: That is a Mixet. There are 3 cartridges.... regular, pre 1968; regular, post 1968; extended length. Based on the handles, I would guess you are regular, post 68. Although Mixet is long out of business, Alsons bought up the name and most hardware and supply stores still have OEM cartridges. You should take the old one with you to be sure.

Having upgraded to 12.04 (LTS!) desktop only shows a simulated keyboard (later on I learned that its keys are [dis]functional in parallel the real ones) and 2 icons (links) inherited from 10.04, the useful one is to gedit.
There was a similar question (Questions for Ubuntu Question: 12.04 "main menu") and answer (Warren Hill ...Open up a terminal by pressing CTRL + ALT + T then enter the following command
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
Next time you log in click on the Ubuntu logo and select Classic...) - I cannot find them any more.
- As an example, ctrl+alt+t had no effect on both keyboards.
- I learned to open a terminal via a menu of gedit - but could not enter anything.
- In case I succeed: Does apt-get install from disk or internet? I cannot verify being online.
- gedit allows to view folders via open ... cancel. Inserting a usb stick opens nautilus, but windows have no no title-bar with icons to size, close, or move.
- Right-clicking on desktop gets me into cofiguration (no way back but shut-down via the dedicated real key - in spite of the popup-exit-menu a disk check is enforced after next boot). Selecting my (real) german keyboard did not bring back its functionality... I am locked up.
- Can I re-install 10.04? (I have a left-over bootable image on a usb stick and hope it works). However, if I lose all my additional packages with configs and data from 10.04, I will give up and reformat the partition to windows. How can I remove grub?
As I cannot use my own pc, be prepared for elongated response time. This is my 1st encounter with askubuntu, I tried a few of the similar questions: most of them had a working keyboard, so I will try my stick as a live-cd, but do not know what to do or to look for, and askubuntu will not be at hand. Another answer suggests to boot a former kernel, I will try. As I remember, all recovery lines (including windows) from grub menu are gone.
Amendment by the author - in hope that this is the expected way to close this question: There was no answer on askubuntu during some 3 weeks, but I found an aide at ubuntuusers.de and would like to submit the partial solution as it stands.
All reported problems seem to originate from my user account which was somehow corrupted by the upgrade process. I cannot explain that or give you details, but the found solution may serve as a proof thereof. a. As reported in topic 5, a new (admin) account could be created and - using real keys to enter and re-exit standby - activated via login (Fortunately, the keyboard worked during these activities!). b. Lo an behold! Starter, panel, etc. were in place and working. Conversely, the old account is still inoperative. c. A lot of work and related questions remain, as I have to transfer all my ordinary and autostart apps and applets to the new account, check them and their configuration for function and compatibility, adapt menues and links - and NOT re-introduce any of the destructive effects. There will be many and manifold problems and I cannot anticipate them now. Maybe there are some solutions in askubuntu.
I am not an expert user and hope to find further help and advice when I try all this piece by piece. When I decided to UPGRADE to 12.04 lts I had hoped to avoid such a life-task in the first place. In that sense, the plan to adapt ubuntu for smart-phones and whatever may be the end of long time support, even with 12.04. I regret that, but that's life. Thank you.

Valpo Opens Spring Season with Win at Bradley
Saturday, February 05, 2005Valparaiso opened its 2005 spring season with a 6-1 victory over Bradley on Saturday afternoon in Peoria, Ill.
The Crusaders needed to battle to win the opening doubles point from the Braves. Whitney Chada (Downers Grove, Ill./North H.S.) and Kate Evangelist (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard West H.S.) had their second doubles match extended a bit before pulling off a 9-7 win. Rachel Janseen (Fort Wayne, Ind./Dwenger H.S.) and Jill Dierberg ( Saint Louis, Mo./Lutheran South H.S.) pulled off the other victory of the night at third doubles, 8-4, to secure the point. Monika Danko (Northfield, Ill./New Trier H.S.) and Christina Scala (Glenview, Ill./Glenbrook South H.S.) lost in a tie-break 9-8 (4) to Bradley's top duo.
Valpo needed to rally in singles to post victories at the first and third spots in the line-up. Janssen dropped the first set at the top spot before winning 3-6, 7-5, 6-1, while Scala also fell in the opening set before recording a 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 triumph. Dierberg cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 win at the fourth spot, while Chada and Evangelist each won 6-0, 6-1 at fifth and sixth doubles respectively.
Bradley's (0-2) lone point came at second doubles with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Danko.
Valpo (1-0) will return to the courts on Saturday night as the Crusaders travel to Evansville for a 6 p.m. match with the Purple Aces.

Do not back up. Severe tire damage.
I tried to read your posts, but there were simply too many syllables in those words and I got confused.
My take away is that I can party like it's ocktoberfest for both September and October. Right?
All this talk about Oktoberfest made me remember this....
Which made me think of this beer....which in turn made me think if anyone reading along here works for The Gambrinus Company, screw you for killing off one of my all time favorite brands....
Mister rabbit says, "A moment of realization is worth a thousand prayers."
eh! Shut it... I said NOTHING!
She wants answers... I'm still trying to figure out what the questions are.
ontheslope - I do enjoy a good hefe. They're fun to make, too.
[This message edited by wonderboy at 4:40 PM, September 20th (Friday)]
And I agree Petes was awesome. I did not miss it much until you all reminded me. Damn when can I get out of here (work) and go get that beer.
I have a dog that we named Stella. Fucking love it. I get to go outside and Shout...."STELLLLLAAAAA HEY STEELLLLLAAAAA"
Neighbors fucking love me.
I've tried, don't know if it can be done. There's a beer museum/store/bar in Bruges that tries to stock every one of them, but some are only available on tap where they are made. Even so, they had something like 300 varieties in stock.
But trust me, I put a lot of effort into the project over an extended period of time. Love to go back anytime I can.
Damn... I knew I should have become a monk.
That condition will be remedied soon.
Heineken for me tonight.
Here's a toast to my BM brothers:
May you all have a great weekend full of good food, beer, entertainment, and sex. Not necessarily in that order.
May your WWs also have lots of good sex this weekend, but only with you. And for those who choose to stray again...eff 'em...they aren't good enough for you anyway.
Peace brothers.
[This message edited by Sal1995 at 5:21 PM, September 20th (Friday)]
I'd have to go with Orval as my first choice, but hard to find in the US. Duvel almost as good and easier to find here in Colorado. Both better than Chimay, which you can get almost everywhere and plenty good enough.
And then there's Bruges Zot, and Zot Dubbel, its darker brother. Pretty much only available in Bruges and selected parts of Belgium, these two have got my number.
And then there's the saisons and the sours, and all of the other crazy shit they brew over there. Belgium is beer heaven. "Lord, can I please just go there when I die?"
"May we all live as long as we want, and never want as long as we live."
Sadly... I can't use it anymore.
But - those thoughts can wait. Tonight, beer! And then maybe sex. If I can stay awake until my W gets home.

WATERFORD -- A 22-year-old Waterford man, who described himself to a police officer as "just being an idiot," ended up getting his vehicle stuck on railroad tracks behind McDonald's on Saratoga Avenue early Saturday morning, police said.
At about 4 a.m. Saturday, Waterford Police Officer Craig Fifield responded to a call about a vehicle on the railroad tracks. Upon arriving at the scene, he found that a vehicle had been driven off Clifton Street and northbound on the tracks, where it eventually became disabled.
Kevin C. Terry, 22, of Lea Avenue was near the scene on First Avenue with family members. He told the officer he had driven the vehicle down the tracks and that he was "just being an idiot," according to a police press release.
Canadian Pacific Railway Police were notified and responded. They shut down the railway while the vehicle was removed. The railway was reopened after the track was inspected for damage, police said.
Terry was charged with obstructing a railroad crossing, driving on the shoulder, reckless driving, driving while intoxicated and driving with a blood-alcohol content exceeding .08 percent. He also was charged by the railway police with trespass and was issued an appearance for the charge, police said.
Terry is scheduled to appear in Waterford Town Court at 6 p.m. July 18.

Klimaforum press conference
Nnimmo Bassey, Chair of Friends of the Earth International and Henry Saragih, General Coordinator of Via Campesina speak at a press conference at the Klimaforum - the alternative climate summit - outlining their hopes for the two weeks.
The FoEI delgation meeting
On Sunday 7 December the Friends of the Earth International delegation to the climate negotiations met in person for the first time these two weeks to discuss our strategies and get to know each other.
Attended by campaigners, communicators, coordinators and Young Friends of the Earth Europe it was great to finally have everyone in the same place and put faces to names - over the last year we've had numerous phone conferences and exchanged hundreds of emails.
The day began with an introduction from Nnimmo Bassey the Chair of Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) giving one of his motivational speeches that never fails to inspire whilst at the same time putting a smile on every face.
Then it was the turn of some of FoEI's wisest climate minds to give their take on the critical negotiations ahead.
Meena Raman from Friends of the Earth Malaysia talked about the sky grab
that is taking place by developed countries and the Bolivia delegation's recent assertion that there is "little atmospheric space left for developing countries".
We heard about the European Union's position and the various negotiating groups that have formed around the world - the G77, Africa, ALBA, the Umbrella group and AOSIS to name a few.
We also heard about the tactics that some countries are using to divide unified groups by offering bi-lateral deals rather than dealing with a block as a whole.
One of these strong blocks is Africa who, last month in Barcelona, refused to continue formal discussions about offsetting and insisted that the talks focus on real carbon-reduction targets for rich countries.
Finally Kate Horner from Friends of the Earth United States assessed the US position. Asked whether the arrival of President Obama to the talks was a positive step, she expressed concern that in an effort to stay on the right side of the charismatic President some countries may make concessions that would not be in the interests of the kind of agreement developing countries need.
It was a lot to take on board but the overall message was simple, a just agreement will be difficult to secure but is not impossible.
young friends of the earth just keep on going
During lunch, Young Friends of the Earth Europe (YFoEE), never ones to put their feet up, carried out a teaser action in street calling on people to join the Flood for Climate Justice on Saturday 12 December.
In the afternoon we divided into smaller groups: communications,
actions and lobbying, and we discussed how we could best perform the tasks we had been assigned, which for me is communicating to You.
Just after 5pm we were done, a little tired, but raring to go for two weeks of long days and late nights certain in the knowledge that only a just agreement in Copenhagen will do.
England, Wales and Northern Ireland action
Take action with Friends of the Earth England Wales and Northern Ireland by calling on the UK climate secretary to sign up to the right agreement in Copenhagen.
Call on him to sign up to:
- Emissions cuts of at least 40% by 2020 on 1990 levels for all developed countries.
- A new financial mechanism to support developing countries in tackling climate change.
- Offsetting to be scrapped - including the the use of carbon trading in tackling deforestation. Offsetting is unjust and fundamentally flawed.
Take action now!
Naomi Klein speaks at the launch of the Klimaforum
Naomi Klein praises the work of the climate justice movement and urges everyone not to leave the climate up to developed countries and corporations.

"Even if you usually eat healthfully and exercise, chronic high stress can prevent you from losing weight—or even add pounds," says Pamela Peeke, MD, MPH, a Prevention advisor and the author of Body for Life for Women.
Here's what happens: Your body responds to all stress—physical or psychological—in exactly the same way. So every time you have a stressful day, your brain acts as though you're in physical danger and instructs your cells to release potent hormones. You get a burst of adrenaline, which taps stored energy so you can fight or flee. At the same time, you get a surge of cortisol, which tells your body to replenish that energy even though you haven't used very many calories in your stressed-out state. This can make you hungry... very hungry. And your body keeps on pumping out that cortisol as long as the stress continues.
Sadly, few of us reach for carrot sticks in these situations. "Instead, we crave sweet, salty, and high-fat foods because they stimulate the brain to release pleasure chemicals that actually do reduce tension," explains Elissa Epel, PhD, a researcher on stress eating at the University of California, San Francisco. This soothing effect becomes addicting, so every time you're anxious, you reach for fattening foods.
Overcome stress cravings and lose weight fast. Order your copy of The Stress Eating Cure today!

Hawker Beechcraft to Highlight Beechcraft Products during Aero Friedrichshafen 2011
In partnership with its regional distributor, the company is displaying a Beechcraft Premier IA, King Air 350i, King Air C90GTx, Baron and Bonanza at the Friedrichshafen Airport.
WICHITA, Kan. (April 13, 2011) – Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) today announced its participation in the 2011 Aero Friedrichshafen from April 13-16 in Germany. In partnership with its regional distributor, the company is displaying a Beechcraft Premier IA, King Air 350i, King Air C90GTx, Baron and Bonanza at the Friedrichshafen Airport.
"We continue to see strong interest in our Beechcraft products throughout Germany and Austria, particularly in our King Air line," said Sean McGeough, HBC president, Europe, Middle East and Africa. "HBC leads the turboprop market in Germany with nearly 40 percent share. Since obtaining EASA certification in December 2009, the King Air 350i has been popular in the region due to its fuel efficiency and payload/range capabilities. Customers and prospects in the region are also eager for EASA certification of the new King Air 250, which is expected later this year."
The following models will be on display at Aero Friedrichshafen:
• Premier IA – An advanced technology light jet, the Premier IA offers customers an industry-leading combination of speed, cabin size and efficiency. With its single-pilot certification, advanced composite construction, seven-passenger seating and a top cruise speed of more than 500 miles per hour, the Premier IA offers the ultimate in operational flexibility. It sets the industry standard for being both a true "pilot's airplane" and a serious business tool.
• King Air 350i – Now equipped with the Rockwell Collins Venue™ cabin management system and state-of-the-art Beechcraft FlexCabin capability, the new King Air 350i sets the standard in cabin comfort, business capability and in-flight productivity, and entertainment. It delivers unmatched fuel efficiency and the lowest operating cost per seat mile, making it the greenest aircraft in its class. The King Air 350i is the perfect addition to any corporate fleet.
• King Air C90GTx – Key enhancements to the new King Air C90GTx include an increase in gross weight and the addition of composite winglets, which improve climb performance and further increase fuel efficiency. Featuring a cabin 50 percent larger than some very light jets, the C90GTx seats up to seven passengers in its famed squared-oval design, allowing greater passenger comfort. It includes an in-flight accessible, heated and pressurized baggage storage area along with a private aft lavatory as standard.
• Baron G58 – The twin-engine piston aircraft that pilots aspire to own, the Baron G58 offers unmatched performance and range/payload capabilities in its segment. It also features a premium cabin that provides the best ride of any twin-engine aircraft, including flexible seating that allows for seating of two, four or six people, with the option to reconfigure and remove seats to accommodate mission needs and large baggage items. Its flight deck includes fully integrated Garmin G1000® avionics with a GFC 700 flight control system and new GWX 68 color weather radar.
• Bonanza G36 –The most prestigious high-performance single-engine piston on the market, offering six passenger comfort and cabin flexibility not found in similar priced four-seat aircraft. The Bonanza G36 also features Garmin G1000® avionics and a GFC 700 flight control system, making the best selling personal aircraft the most capable Bonanza yet.

By AVERY YALE KAMILA
Linekin Bay Resort is a classic Maine getaway. Perched on the end of a wooded peninsula in Boothbay Harbor, the seasonal oceanfront property offers a mix of cabins and lodges, with the oldest dating back to 1946.
Staff members at the Linekin Bay Resort line up behind the buffet, which was expanded this year to include vegan and gluten-free items.

To accommodate an increasing number of special diets, Linekin Bay Resort no longer plates salads and instead allows guests to build their own.
Contributed photo
Wood-paneled guest rooms exude a rustic vibe and televisions are nowhere to be found. (Instead guests go to the bar to watch sporting events or head to the TV room in West Lodge for the nightly big-screen movie.) During the day, vacationers enjoy games of doubles on the clay tennis courts and spend time on the bay in kayaks and on paddleboards. Kids swim in the ocean or the heated pool. Sailing and lessons come as part of the all-inclusive rate.
"It really is a bit of a throwback and most guests appreciate that," said general manager Mark Osborn.
From the end of June through Labor Day, the resort offers vacationers all-inclusive packages featuring breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. Before and after those dates, the resort offers exclusive wedding weekends. This weekend marks the last wedding before the resort closes down until next summer.
Linekin Bay Resort is the sort of place where lobster bakes, clam chowders and seared scallops are expected and the kitchen has always delivered.
But this past season the menu shifted in a new direction, while still retaining the classics. Most notably, the resort added a number of plant-based dishes and gluten-free offerings.
"Change has sort of come slowly to Linekin Bay Resort," said Jane Richmond, 68, who has vacationed with her family at the resort for 34 years. "But I welcome the change in diet. I would even use the word rave. I raved to Mark about the new food system."
While Richmond doesn't follow a gluten-free or vegan diet, she does appreciate the new menu items and the opportunity to eat a lighter meal.
"This past winter the number of requests and requirements for food went through the roof," said Osborn, who spends the off-season booking reservations for the following summer. "This year the requests for vegetarian, vegan, low-fat, lactose-free or gluten-free was probably every third reservation I took for new guests and one in 10 for returning guests."
The tradition at Linekin Bay has always been table service, allowing guests to order their meal and have it delivered by a waiter or waitress. Each meal offered a choice of soup or salad, a choice between two entrees and a choice of desserts.
But as the reservations and special requests continued to roll in for the 2013 season, Osborn realized the way the resort had served the food in the past wasn't going to work in light of all the special requests. So in consultation with the chef, he decided to add a number of vegan and gluten-free menu items and move to a self-serve model, while retaining the option of table service for guests who preferred it.
New menu items include dishes such as zucchini ribbons served with two sauces, cheese-less cashew ricotta cheese with roasted vegetable rollatini, chilled cucumber and avocado soup and vegan cheesecake.
This past season guests selected what they wanted from buffets and themed food stations. Many menu items were deconstructed and served in individual components, allowing each person to create his or her preferred dish.
As a result, a roasted pear salad showed up as a large bowl of butter lettuce, a dish of roasted pears, a bowl of gorgonzola, a plate of prosciutto and a dish of walnuts. Likewise, fish tacos became a spread featuring fried or grilled fish, grilled vegetables, house-made salsa, guacamole, cheese, fresh vegetables and wheat or corn tortillas. Guests were then free to construct their meal in a way that suited their tastes and dietary needs.

The Baltimore Sun -- Jean E. Hill, 67, A John Waters Star Of Female Trouble, Polyester, A Dirty Shame
She was in quite a few of Waters' movies.Quote:
"Jean Hill was my only African-American star. She was a talented comedian, a brave actress and a much valued member of the Dreamland acting gang I worked with in my movies," said Mr. Waters.
"She had a personality almost too large for show business, and she startled closed-minded people in every level of society. Sometimes raunchy in her public life, Jean was always classy in her private one, and underneath it all was a real lady," he said.
Aw, dammit, man. Thanks for posting this. I totally missed it. I got the opportunity to meet him about 20 years ago, and it was a real pleasure. Despite his broad expanse of work, I
wasam infatuated with The Twilight Zone, so I talked with him about this whenever I got the chance. Condolences to his friends and family.
This thread is gonna be depressing. ;)

In Memoriam M.K.H., 1911-1984
She taught me what her uncle once taught her:
How easily the biggest coal block split
If you got the grain and the hammer angled right.
The sound of that relaxed alluring blow
Its co-opted and obliterated echo,
Taught me to hit, taught me to loosen,
Taught me between the hammer and the block
To face the music. Teach me now to listen,
To strike it rich behind the linear black.
A cobble thrown a hundred years ago
Keeps coming at me, the first stone
Aimed at a great-grandmother's turncoat brow.
The pony jerks and the riot's on.
She's couched low in the trap
Running the gauntlet that first Sunday
Down the brae to Mass at a panicked gallop.
He whips on through the town to cries of 'Lundy!'
Call her 'The Convert.' 'The Exogamous Bride.'
Anyhow, it is a genre piece
Inherited on my mother's side
And mine to dispose with now she's gone.
Instead of silver and Victorian lace
the exonerating, exonerated stone.
Polished linoleum shone there. Brass taps shone.
The china cups were very white and big --
An unchipped set with sugar bowl and jug.
The kettle whistled. Sandwich and tea scone
Were present and correct. In case it run,
The butter must be kept out of the sun.
And don't be dropping crumbs. Don't tilt your chair.
Don't reach. Don't point. Don't make noise when you stir.
It is Number 5, New Row, Land of the Dead,
Where grandfather is rising from his place
With spectacles pushed back on a clean bald head
To welcome a bewildered homing daughter
Before she even knocks. 'What's this? What's this?'
And they sit down in the shining room together.
When all the others were away at Mass
I was all hers as we peeled potatoes.
They broke the silence, let fall one by one
Like solder weeping off the soldering iron:
Cold comforts set between us, things to share
Gleaming in a bucket of clean water.
And again let fall. Little pleasant splashes
From each other's work would bring us to our senses.
So while the parish priest at her bedside
Went hammer and tongs at prayers for the dying
And some were responding and some crying
I remembered her head bent towards my head,
Her breath in mine, our fluent dipping knives --
Never closer the whole rest of our lives.
Fear of affectation made her affect
Inadequacy whenever it came to
Pronouncing words 'beyond her'. Bertold Brek.
She'd manage something hampered and askew
Every time, as if she might betray
The hampered and inadequate by too
Well-adjusted a vocabulary.
With more challenge than pride, she'd tell me, 'You
Know all them things.' So I governed my tongue
In front of her, a genuinely well-
Adjusted adequate betrayal
Of what I knew better. I'd naw and aye
And decently relapse into the wrong
Grammar which kept us allied and at bay.
The cool that came off sheets just off the line
Made me think the damp must still be in them
But when I took my corners of the linen
And pulled against her, first straight down the hem
And then diagonally, then flapped and shook
The fabric like a sail in a cross-wind,
They'd make a dried-out undulating thwack.
So we'd stretch and fold and end up hand to hand
For a split second as if nothing had happened
For nothing had that had not always happened
Beforehand, day by day, just touch and go,
Coming close again by holding back
In moves where I was x and she was o
Inscribed in sheets she'd sewn from ripped-out flour sacks.
In the first flush of the Easter holidays
The ceremonies during Holy Week
Were highpoints of our Sons and Lovers phase.
The midnight fire. The paschal candlestick.
Elbow to elbow, glad to be kneeling next
To each other up there near the front
Of the packed church, we would follow the text
And rubrics for the blessing of the font.
As the hind longs for the streams, so my soul . . .
Dippings. Towellings. The water breathed on.
The water mixed with chrism and oil.
Cruet tinkle. Formal incensation
And the psalmist's outcry taken up with pride:
Day and night my tears have been my bread.
In the last minutes he said more to her
Almost than in their whole life together.
'You'll be in New Row on Monday night
And I'll come up for you and you'll be glad
When I walk in the door . . . Isn't that right?'
His head was bent down to her propped-up head.
She could not hear but we were overjoyed.
He called her good and girl. Then she was dead,
The searching for a pulsebeat was abandoned
And we all knew one thing by being there.
The space we stood around had been emptied
Into us to keep, it penetrated
Clearances that suddenly stood open.
High cries were felled and a pure change happened.
I thought of walking round and round a space
Utterly empty, utterly a source
Where the decked chestnut tree had lost its place
In our front hedge above the wallflowers.
The white chips jumped and jumped and skited high.
I heard the hatchet's differentiated
Accurate cut, the crack, the sigh
And collapse of what luxuriated
Through the shocked tips and wreckage of it all.
Deep-planted and long gone, my coeval
Chestnut from a jam jar in a hole,
Its heft and hush became a bright nowhere,
A soul ramifying and forever
Silent, beyond silence listened for.
-Seamus Heaney

Yes I would put a filter on the well pump to keep the dirt out of the cistern. The foot valve leaking is why you are losing prime. Remove the above ground check valve and the pressure tank will keep the pump primed. However, if you don't fix the foot valve, the pump will then cycle back on when you are not using water to make up for the water lost through the leaking foot valve.
You can lay a submersible on its side, then you won't loose the bottom 12" of tank capacity. However, keep the sub off the bottom a little so it doesn't pick up dirt. See the picture. This is a good way to lay a pump in a cistern, but the pump needs a shroud or flow inducer sleeve.
And yes make a lid of plywood or sheet metal so you don't have to dig to the cistern any more.

Condit Elementary School's Annual Fundraiser for 2011 is just around the corner! Last year, Flappers Comedy Club donated gift certificates, t-shirts, and shot glasses for the school's Silent Auction, along with 130 complimentary tickets for its attendees. With the combined efforts of Flappers and other donors, Condit Elementary earned nearly $20,000! We are extremely pleased to be apart of such a wonderful success for Condit's students and its surrounding community.
It was another successful night here at Flappers, Tuesday! With the focused efforts from a great line-up of comedians and great support from our audience, we raised over $4500 for Burbank Sunrise Rotary, a member of Rotary International. The funds will go to the Sunrise Rotary's service-minded programs: scholarships for local students, as well as other fundraising services for the community at large.
